History[]
As LenTotally[]
Len made his channel in November 9, 2013 and started to make speed paint videos around 2016. He took a break and looked for better content to post. Len experimented uploading gaming videos, including Gacha Studio, on a different channel in 2017. However, the channel was terminated. Len took another break and continued making content in 2018, mainly with Gacha Life.
LenTotally's original channel name was Len Zide, the name of his original character. However, he wanted his channel name to be original and easily remembered. He decided to change his name from "Len Zide" to "LenTotally" as he wanted a sarcastic touch. "Len" comes from his real name, Allen.[6] PewDiePie originally inspired Len to make videos.
Len found out about Gacha from his younger brother. He has been in the Gacha community ever since Gacha Studio came out.
As Xyn[]
On September 13, 2021, Len came back to the Internet under the name "Xyn" after his 4 month hiatus. The following day, he started uploading again.
In February 2022, he rebranded as Xynister. Also, on February 14, 2022, he opened access to comments.
Controversy[]
Grooming[]
On February 21, 2021, a user by the name of LenTotally Exposed made a video alleging that Len had been grooming a 14-year-old when Len was 20. A 14 year old came forward and revealed screenshots and screen recordings of sexual interactions between them and Len. They are anonymous at this time per their request. Len's former friends later confirmed this on Discord and YouTube, including Sukie Online, Garby, and RosyClozy.[7][8] He himself confirmed the accusations were true on his YouTube community tab.
Len's first community post made on the topic claimed that he was not the one who started flirting and that it was the teenager who did, while also stating that he did not affect her life negatively. He explained that the 14-year-old was the one who allegedly requested to do intimate scenarios with Len.[9] The post received mixed reactions, with some people claiming that Len was gaslighting the victim. He later deleted this post and made another one apologizing.[10] Len later deleted all his community posts including the apology, turned off comments on all his videos on his main channel, and hidden his gaming channel. After the hiding of the gaming channel, Sukie Online, Garby and Len decided to disband their group "The Trio" and "Minecraft Gang" (The Trio + Fear the Bow and Itz Angiiee). He also deleted the Gacha Stars Discord Server as he is passing the ownership onto RosyClozy. But the admins of the discord server made one but without Len.
After deleting all his community posts, Len made a new community post apologizing and claiming that he would take full responsibility for his actions, and that he had accidentally deleted his last community post.[11]
On March 22, 2021, he made a response video to the situation, which has received negative to mixed reception.
In early-mid May, 2021, he made a community post saying he had contacted the victim's parents about the situation to discuss it.
Hiding of account[]
On May 25, 2021, Len hid his main channel While he hidden his gaming channel on February 21, 2021. A YouTuber named Flotalendy has proven this. However, the MMD channel has been fully deleted. He had to hid his account until September 13, 2021, when he returned under the name "Xyn".
Unprivating his channel/Possible return to YouTube[]
On June 8, 2023, a YouTuber called "BronyBoy5463" had uploaded a video titled "LenTotally is BACK," which shows that Len had unprivated his channel and gave it a new name: "Xynister/LenTotally Archives," which still has over 500k+ subscribers, along with showing Len's previously uploaded videos. Len hasn't uploaded anything at the moment, but this could possibly mean that he still hasn't learned his lesson about the crimes he's committed on social media and planning on returning to the Gacha community, which is full of minors. Other YouTubers/GachaTubers, such as Flotalendy, had also uploaded a video about the situation.
